Application led November 101931. Serial No; 574,201.

The present invention relates to a curtain display rack and has for its object to provide a device of this nature'designed for displaying curtains vand the like which possesses a simple structure which may be folded up and easily stored when not in use, is light in weight and may be used in any convenient space, and which may be produced ineXpen- ,o sively. Y

jects in view as will be apparent as the deY scription proceeds, the invention resides in certain novel features of construction, and

l5 as will be hereinafter more fully described and claimed. In the drawings: v Figure 1 is a front elevation of the rack embodying the features of my invention.

Figure 2 is a horizontal section taken substantially on the line 2 2 of Figure 1.

Figure 3 is a side elevation of the rack eXs tended, kand r Figure 4 is a similar view showing the rack 2') folded. Y Referring to the drawings in detail, it will be seen thatv the rack comprises generally a frame F, a prop'P, and a rod It. The frame F is formed with a cross top rod 5 merging into depending side rods 7 which terminate in inwardly and upwardly slanting extensions 8 of relatively short length.v A bottom cross rod 9 is mounted between the side rods 7 at the terminals of the extensions 8 and a d plurality of cross rods 11 are arranged between the side rods 7 at regular intervals in parallelism with the rods 5 and 9. A pair of vertical rods 11 extend from the rod 5 to the rod 9 and are fixed thereto and cross intermediate portions of the rods and are equidistant from one ano-ther and the adjacent rods 7. l

The prop P-is formed from a single rod ,.3 comprising a bottom cross portion or base 12 with sides mergingupwardly therefrom denoted by numerals 14 and crossing each other intermediate their ends and terminating in eyes 15 circumjacent the rod 5 between theV D rods 11 and adjacentV thereto. The prop,-

therefore, may be swung outwardly to the With the above and numerous other ob-\` in the combination and arrangement of parts.

position shown in Figure 3 or swung inwardly to the folded position shown in Figure 4. The rod R is'fiXed to one of the side rods 11 adjacent the uppervend thereof and has a free end engageable ina hook 16 mounted on the 55v other rod 7 adjacent its upper end. The curtain is draped over the rod R and may A-be braced on the frame'F as desired, the dotted line showing in Figures l and 3 being a mere 1 example. 6o

It is thought that the construction, utility. Y

yand advantages of the invention will now be quite apparent to those skilled in this art without a more detailed description thereof.

The present embodiment of the invention V has been described in considerable detail since in actual practice it attains the features of'v o advantage enumerated 4 as kdesirable in. the f statement of the invention vand the above description. l 70 It will be apparent that changes in the details .of construction may be resorted to without departing from the spirit or scope of the invention as hereinafter claimed or sacrificing any of its advantages. l

Having thus described my invention, what e Iclaim as new is: A rack of the class described including, in combination, a frame, a prop swingably mounted on the frame, and a rod across the .B0 upper portion of the frame, said frame com prising an upper cross rod merging into depending side `rods which terminate in upwardly and inwardly inclined Vextensionsof relatively short length and a bottom cross rod between the side rods adjacent the termina-ls Vof the extension, and additional cross rods between the upper and lower cross rods and i additional vertical rods between the side rods,

said prop being formed from a rod bent to provide a base portion having sides rising s therefrom andcrossing each other intermediate their ends and terminating in Veyes oir-V cumjacent the top rod of the frame,said first mentioned rod being fixed to one ofthe side rods and having its free end engageable ina f hook on the other side rod.`

In testimony whereof I affix my signature.
